Hello 2022!! Happy New Year!!
supo replied to nobmontana's post in a topic in Out of Bounds: Lifestyle, Luxury, Autos, Hobbies, High Tech Geargoals? driving- cut ball accuracy... its been pretty as a rule but i lost that shot over the last 6-8 weeks of the season trying to Jack Hammer time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyhting, every shot . draw is good, cut needs work. fairway woods- they have been the best they ahve ever been last ( coincidentally) 6-8 weeks of the season,i found some new thought at address that literally get me into the ball unlike ive ever hit it before, its weird bec it doesnt translate to driver, its specific to fairway woods off the deck only, doesnt work from the tee. irons- found some good striking back half of the year, but not anywhere near consistant as it shud be. similar thoughts to the woods but not a replica, not a liek for like. that has EASILY been my achilies heel for the last 2 years. my GIR is appaling. its roughly average 50% from 6500 yards, thats no where near acceptable on these courses when im hitting to inside 7 iron on most holes... no idea waht happened there but it needs attention, constant attention! wedges- im cool where im at with those they are saving my bacon more foten than not. putting- is there anyone , ever, who cant look for a bit more help here? i think i need to get a better site line, i think my alignment is awful, distace control looks pretty good mopst stroked but my alignemnt is crooked. beers at the 19th.... solid!

Mostly PRGR Bag in the works!
Although the TR500s have been my most played club of the year by a ways , when i started to play the yam tours again , ive not got them out of the bag , i love looking down at that thicker head, a bit like the masda mbs which were my second most played irons , they too have a thicker top line prob more so than every other MB , it inspires confidence in my striking by looking at a thick top but ill reverse my thoughts on most dynamic CB , i think the TR500s are more so than the yams , they are more workable and easier to clip the ball to shape for my swing style. I played what is most prob one of , if not my last game of the winter season with the yams on sat and with those carbon shafts , it made it so silky sweet in the cold clear sunny skies ( 5*c) , the ground was frozen, the greens were so hard the ball bounced over the back TOO MANY TIMES!!! . in general the the ball was not flying , close on 20 yards less on t he drive than normal temps ,i cudnt get any flexability to my bod to get the ball further so the extra soft feel of the carbon made it so much nicer to hit and no elbow stingers! I think i cud have used a bit more help to cut the ball high and stop it more which the TR500s do masterfully. some may call these dilemas , first world problems.........,

heres a wee illustration of 3 heads with very minimal off set. from left: tr500 / IDBL / yamaha tour. THE 2 PRGRS share very similar head dimensions but the differences to the eye make a case to have both in play! they are actually not really a like at all to view or play i had a good look and yes the IDBLS have less off set by a whisker and u can see it at address. the yamahas are the most compact and chunky of the 3 and i think are the most dynamic of the 3 sets by a whicker over the tr500s. prob. bec the head is a bit smaller IMO. yea i dont think i cud go past these 3 sets for differnig conds. id play the tr500s on fast dry turf, in winter or short cropped buffalo. the IDBLS in the rain or wet lush tropical conds the yammy tours in just about everything.. funnily eough nobs they are my current fave play set bec they have your crazy cb limited in them and i will say , i dont think ive felt a nicer impact in a club. once again MR WIZRD the builder picked his mark 100% spot on to go with the yams.

hahah yes they prob did and they are a magnificent match esp in summer months . what ive found , is heavier harsher shafts seem to benefit softer ENDO heads like the tr500, EPON, IDBL nabla tour.. ESPECIALLY NABLA TOURS better than smoother shafts. im not really sure why but i find it so. shimada tour,, monacco,,Sp blue/orange/red. modus 125s DG! seem.. to have some play advanatge over say modus 120s. as for offset i get what u mean theres not a lot of it. ive put the tr500s next to the IDBL and the IDBL have less off set but are thicker, chunkier and a fuller punchier shot, the tr500s have just a milli more but u can notice it and the thinness of the blade and sole means u dont get the smidge more , i can hardly call it forgiveness, but forgiveness of the IDBL extra chunk. they are both not what id call small compact heads , they have pretty big surface area heel to toe but a crisped tr500 is a feeling something quite addicitive indeed , quite a bit more workable as well. actually.... just thinking about it, the TR500S are quite a bit easier to zing about if i want to , i can get them to draw a lot easier than the idbls, quite a lot more. i dont know about you but i call them cavity blades. bec they have the essense and play characteristits of blades but with that incredible cavity for just a hint more confidence at address with the fuller head size. ive said it before, IF i was restricted to say 2 sets of irons ONLY, these wud be one set, and t he others.ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh good god i have no idea what they cud be. epon aftour. IDBL masda mb yamah tours.................. ......,

Mostly PRGR Bag in the works!
Nobs maybe beceause the heads have been flattened a smidge ? , have u checked that ?, i only say that bec i got a used set a few yrs ago from my pro source guy that were 2* flat , he said as most of the tr500s wud have been bought by A grade+ players who dont like to hook , that stood to reason. that set i got were quite noticeably flat to the naked eye , too flat for me, so i had them put back 1* even that small adjustment made a discernable difference to the eye at address. esp in the longer irons. ( 3/pw) oh btw........, in case u get tired of those NON JDM !!!!!!!! shafts, may i WHOLESOMELY reccommend you try the old NS SP red........................... and do those heads justice!!!!!!!!! those shafts, are so ABSOLUTELY, positively LIGHTS OUT!!!!!!!. im tempted to re do a bunch of irons with them and just play those going forwards, getting tired of muscling up each game with the blues and 130s , 125s are still my go to but i digress.., RED are lightish, 115ish g +/- with just the hint of workability with a mid balance, lower kick for an easier higher flight , and they play strong for a light shaft . why- o -why did NS stop making the SP range !?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!

What's the most forgiving one piece forged irons?
well nobs , if u dont mind a blast from the past.... i mean the reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal past. as far as ive ever hit or ever will hit prgr data 801. full soft forged by endo japan no less. if u want a slightly more conventional , slightly more modern set the yamaha 2010 inpres x are a wonderfull set, those are the ones i came back from injury with this season, with the NSv90 reg i was going to sell them , or change he shafts but they just worked so well i cant think now why i wud, they will also be a set hard to beat come mid winter with that shaft combo. the data 801s are with the prgr made for by NS. cant fault those. the head may look like a bucket from a 30ton front end loader on a mining site in the kimberleys , but they hit the ball just fine!

What bag(s) do you use?
the staff bags were for driving to golf whch doesnt happen much anymore , a new supermarket on the golf road turned a quick easy 60min drive to the course to a 4 hr ordeal , never to be repeated................... and wil never play those courses again!!!!! so i use travelling train bags 99% of the time these days. kino.......a cpl of honma tw....... (the best ) onoff they ever made by a mile the staffers ust hold my clubs these days. for looks. good bags tho.
